Check the age minimum for participants, some events include shorter distances that can be suitable for ages 14 years and up. Marathons require entrants to be at least 18 years of age.

For someone who’s afraid of heights, there’s no better challenge than jumping out of a plane! Adrenaline sports are a great way to test your own personal limits and encourage others to support your charity of choice.

🪂Brave your very first skydive to raise funds for cadets! There are many options to choose from. Check out UK Sky Diving Adventures .

🧗🏽‍♂️Use your cadet adventure training skills to scale an iconic landmark.  Raise funds with a 100 metre descent down the side of Portsmouth’s iconic landmark, Spinnaker Tower.  For those up for an even greater challenge, why not take on London’s Tallest Sculpture, 262 feet above the city. 

💰#jumpforgood How much would your network donate to see you take on a challenge that will truly push your limits?

Now for a list of challenges that are certainly not for the faint hearted! You would need to put in some long hours training to take on an ultra but it will surely be an experience to remember for a lifetime. 

You could either fundraise for ACCT UK with no sponsorship target or if you are willing to commit to a minimum fundraising amount then we would refund your registration fee once the target is reached.
